The
Veterans
of

pays
the
disabled
veteran
for
his
work.
In
most
case,
the
money
provides
extra
income
for
the
disabled
veteran
to
pay
for
the
little
luxuries
which
make
hospital
life
tolerable.
Sometimes
the
Poppy
assembly
is
used
as
a
therapy
program,
under
direct
supervision
of
hospital
personnel,
to
provide
exercise
for
fingers

Sheriff
Advises
Graduation
Party
Hosts
Every
spring
high
school
and
college
kids
arc
killed
or
badly
injured
in
automobile
accidents.
The
cause
of
99%
of
these
accidents
is
alcohol.
Sheriff
Richard
Kane
of
Livingston
County
reminds
parents
who
arr.
planning
to
have
graduation
parties
not
to
serve
alcohol
to
people
under
the
age
of
21.
The
sheriff
points
out
that
those
serving
alcohol
to
minors
can
be
charged
with
a
class
B
misdemeanor.
If
convicted
of
that
offense
a
parent
could
be
fined
up
to
$500
and/or
spend
up
to
90
days
in
jail.
The
sheriff
also
points
out
that
it
is
illegal
to
seve
intoxicated
people
alcoholic
beverages
in
New
York
State.
Not
only
can
the
server
of
the
alcohol
and/or
the
party
giver
be
arrested,
these
individuals
are
vulnerable
to
large
civil
suits
that
could
result
in
losing
personal
assets
like
their
homes
or
ears.
Sheriff
Kane
provides
us
with
an
example
of
this
scenario.
Suppose
a
graduate
goes
to
his
friend's
graduation
party
and
beer
is
served.
That
individual,
who
is
under
21,
becomes
legally
intoxieated.
He
drives
away
from
the
party
and
kills
someone.
The
hosts
of
the
party
will
be
arrested
for
serving
a
minor.
The
victim's
family
will
sue
both
the
driver
and
the
host
More
than
likely
the
driver
will
not
have
any
assets,
so
the
family
will
go
after

host's
assets.
It
is
very
possible
for
the
hosts
to
lose
everything
they
own.
It
has
happened.
The
point
the
Sheriff
is
trying
to
make
is
that
the
law
in
New
York
State
does
not
tolerate
serving
alcohol
to
people
under
21,
and
it
does
not
tolerate
serving
alcohol
to
intoxicated
people.
This
means
that
hosts
of
graduation
parties
have
tremendous
personal
responsibilities
if
alcohol
is
served.
The
Sheriff
suggests
that
you
do
not
serve
alcohol
at
any
graduation
parties.
If
you
do
serve
alcohol,
make
sure
those
who
are
drinking
arc
21
year
olds.
And
make
sure
that
those
who
arc
drinking
have
a
non-
drinking
driver
to
drive
them
home.
\Ask
anyone
who
is
drinking
who
their
designated
driver
is,\
Sheriff
Kane
said.
\If
someone
does
not
have
a
designated
driver
take
their
keys
and
find
an
alternative
ride
home
for
them.
Remember,
failure
to
responsibly
distribute
alcohol
at
a
graduation
party
or
any
other
function
where
alcohol
is
served
could
cost
you
everything
YOll
own.\
Sheriff
Kane
hopes
tlmt
this
will
be
the
safest
spring
graduation
that
we
have
ever
had.
AmI
he
wishes
all
the
graduates
a
safe
and
hcaltllY
future:
.
Once
a
volunteer
is
trained,
he
or
she
is
matched
with
a
student
and
they
work
together
one
or
two
hours
a
week.
The
tutors
arc
volunteers
who
work
only
for
satisfaction
of
helping
an
adult
learn
to
read.
At
the
recognition
event,
which
will
be
a
picnic
in
the
Livingston
County

LV
A-LC
will
honor
a
Tutor
of

and

will

briefly
